In June 2011 the Koninklijke Nederlandse Cricket Bond (KNCB), the Royal Netherlands Cricket Association, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance cannabis.
After notification the Athlete filed a statement in his defence and was heard for the KNCB Disciplinary Committee. The Athlete admitted he used cannabis out of competition a week before the doping test during the festivities on 30 April 2011.
Considering the Athlete had no intention to enhance his sport performance the KNCB Disciplinary Committee decides to impose a 6 month period on the Athlete starting on the date of the decision.
Fees and expenses for this committee shall be borne by the Athlete.
